With every passing theft, Dark grows stronger, and so do his opponents. Just as every hero need an enemy, so does Dark. Satoshi Hiwatari, a child prodigy and the commander-in-chief of the police squad set to capture Dark. Just as when Daisuke became Dark, so did Satoshi become Krad, the white-winged counterpart to Dark. Unlike Dark, Krad doesn't seem to care about other lives, despite his seemingly "good" colors. In the past, though, it was Krad who sealed both him and Dark into entrapment. With the final battle between Krag and Dark drawing ever nearer, will Daisuke and Dark be able to overcome evil? And will they both finally be able to declare their love for Risa and Riku respectively?
The Story was definitely unique, and it does deserve credit for its awesome introductive episodes. But as it moved on both the artwork and the story gets stretched. Fighting with magic artifacts and feathers may be cool for female viewers (and was unique in the beginning), but it was also kind of lame after a few times. The story becomes horrifically clichéd and the lack of villainy is slowly fading. Character personalities wise, I didn't really know what they were trying to portray Dark as - a bad boy with a good heart, or a jerk who takes girls for a ride? Krad was more or less portrayed as the all-around evil, slightly psychotic jerk. Risa definitely started to grate on my nerves after a while. Riku did too, to some extent, but she was nowhere near as annoying as Risa.
Although I didn't like the idea of merging the 3D art and the 2D art, particularly towards the end of the anime, the effect turned out to be just plain weird. I’ve to admit that generally the animation was so slick that it was sexy. The characters and the environment all looked awesome and the way they combined CG and hand drawn characters were wicked.
